Dr. Howe is beyond an exemplary Cardiologist. He successfully combines his skill, knowledge and training, with kindness, compassion and truth. I have known him for 14 years and he has been through 2 of my 3 open-heart valve surgeries, a brain bleed, chronic A-fib and several episodes of V-tach. He remembers my cardiac history well, and has always provided the best treatment for me. I don't think I will be able to replace him, when he leaves for his new life journey.
